You have a dual nature. Two tendencies dwell within your psyche: one is related to your instincts and endows you with supreme strength and intense material desires, and the other flows from a higher psychic authority, the superego or human ideal, and inspires you with a precise awareness of your purpose and dignity as a human being among your fellows. The distinctiveness, if not the opposition, between these two tendencies is likely to trouble your quest for inner harmony at times. However, the difficulty you must overcome is not limited to a conflict between these two natures. Instead, you must choose which direction the energy generated by the contradiction will take. In other words, in more practical terms, if you identify with the power residing in society and the complex interactions of human beings, you can find one goal, one direction in which the power can lead. The positive side of this nature is the cohesive and all-encompassing understanding you derive from it. In daily life, you could be a resourceful and valuable organizer, designer, leader, or legislator. In fact, you have the native skills necessary for managing and leading a team of co-workers. The coherence of your thought is apt to enable you to budget and organize human energies for maximum profit and minimum loss. Overlooking from the outset trivial details and a tendency to be unable to see the forest for the trees, you can implement global, methodical systems and structures to solve problems. On another level, you have a nature profoundly attached to morality and ethics. You conceive of ethics as a practical system for human relations, not an idealistic and unattainable dream. Indeed, it should be noted that it is inexact to call you an idealist. If you seek an ideal, it is based on what already exists, by organizing it and putting it into practice, by seeing it operate smoothly and efficiently. Your originality comes from the fact that you always strive to go beyond common sense in search of a new perspective, which would enrich the spirit and transform values. All of these skills and resources predispose you to devote yourself to society. In the process, however, you are likely to overdo it to such a degree that your own personality is overshadowed. That is, you would identify too heavily with your social mask (your persona) and lose awareness of your individuality.

Your psyche is the scene of a struggle between two opposing tendencies. You vacillate between intense activity and playfulness, between rebellion and submission. Sometimes, you are in love with yourself; sometimes, it’s the opposite. In your youth, you are likely to undergo some challenges in adjusting to the world and achieving a balance. However, maturity and experience should teach you how to be more centered by investing your energies in an activity which involves helping other people. After you learn to compensate for a tendency to run out of momentum, you will be able to complete the projects you want to finish based on your high ideals. Your intelligence will be illuminated and enlightened by your intuition. However, you will always have to protect yourself from picking up negative energy from people around you.

Born on the day before the full moon, you are said to be a gibbous moon lunar type. This “soli-lunar” configuration gives you a rich, complex personality, although you are sometimes troubled by the feeling you are struggling to do something great. Indeed, a feeling that you are lacking something may preoccupy you until you find a spiritual or humanitarian cause worthy of your devotion. Devotion will be important to you as a foundation for your inner and outer development. If you fail to encounter a great and noble cause to which you are willing to pledge yourself, you could always make do with a person whose aura and magnetism attract you. Whatever you decide, it is by working to serve a cause or another person that you will approach your own self-transformation.
